Make Money Grow!
Dear Maribeth,
Can you do a reading for hot job sectors and economic prospects for this year’s graduating class? What do the cards say are best careers to pursue right now in terms of good salaries, job security, and demand?
Hunter
Dear Hunter,
Great question! I’ve pulled three random cards for your reading: the 10 of Pentacles, the 9 of Cups and the 7 of Cups. In one sentence this tells me: Look for the money, find your passion and become an expert in your field.
The 10 of Pentacles is the ultimate in money success. The pentacles, in some decks symbolized as coins, represent money and material possessions. This card looks like it is raining money. This points to anything doing with investments being a hot place to be. Any position where a person can help others make money is going to be successful. Look at the success of Jim Cramer, the screaming stock market guy on CNBC. He seems to be all the rage among the college students, and has actually provided quite an education to those who are interested. The earlier people invest their money, the more they can make. Whether it be the stock market, property or investing in a secure business, any position that can help others earn money will certainly be profitable to those advisors.
The 9 of Cups shows that you need to believe in whatever you choose to do. You gotta have the passion in order to be successful. No position will be fulfilling if you are just in it for the money. It will be so much easier if you love to learn about your product. The happier you are in your work, the more contagious your attitude, and success is sure to follow. Salesmanship is all about presenting an attractive product and no matter what career path you choose, you will have to sell yourself. Believe in what you are doing and follow your bliss.
The 7 of Cups pictures the challenge of matching your love with your career. Be sure to do something you are proud to be associated with. Stand up tall and say “I am a …”. What do you want to be known for? Whether it is an alligator trainer, a bank teller or a software engineer, say it with pride. These cards show that any intention to help others be successful is going to be karmically beneficial. Although entrepreneurship can be attractive, start out at an existing company to establish business experience and make some money to be able to invest wisely in your future. Investments are where it’s at. Everyone will appreciate help in making their money earn more money. The key is to figure out what you want to be an expert at so you can help others make their money grow. Stock brokers, investment bankers and realtors can easily do this. Jewelry, internet coalitions, environmental causes, holistic beauty and research projects are all hot markets. Let’s get out there and make the world a better place!
